those days

I thought it was going to be rainy, and it was very boring early in the morning.It was almost noon, An Yunsu carried a watermelon in a net bag and walked home. He had just entered the building and before he turned up the stairs, he heard the voices of several women chatting.He couldn't hear the chattering, but he could only make out the voice of Mrs. Sun, the family member of the district committee cadre who had just moved in on the first floor.

Seeing him coming up to the second floor, several people suddenly shut up.

An Yunsu didn't know what they were talking about, thought it was a woman's whisper and it was inconvenient for people to hear, so she greeted with a smile and continued to walk upstairs.After turning a flight of stairs, he took out the house key from his pocket, and accidentally slipped out the change. Just as he bent down to pick it up, the voices downstairs started again.

This time, he heard what they were saying: talking about him.

"Hey, have you seen the leather shoes he's wearing? Last time I saw them at Zhongyuan Company. They were imported and I wanted to buy them for our family. They were too expensive."

"No, if you ask me, Dr. Xing is too kind to him, even a servant is dressed in such a foreign style."

At this time, Mrs. Sun, the cadre's family member, grasped the important point: "Is he a servant?"

"I'm also surprised. I said so when I went door-to-door in the street before, but I don't look like it. How can I look like a worker dressed like that? It looks like a young master from some family."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately reminded her: "Don't talk nonsense, this problem of composition will kill you if you don't fix it right now." She covered her mouth belatedly.

Mrs. Sun had a disdainful expression on her face, "Is it really okay to be afraid to say?" Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, she proudly showed off her political awareness as a family member of a cadre, "I think this person may It's a fish that slipped through the net."

"No, Dr. Xing's background is fine."

"That's right."

"Actually, he is quite nice, how polite he is every time we meet."

Several women chattered together.

"Even if there is no issue of composition, then there may be other issues. Can't there be bad people among the people? Can't Dr. Xing be deceived by him?" Mrs. Sun hinted with gestures.

"What do you mean?" One of them reacted first, "You mean...his hands and feet are not clean? His boss doesn't know?"

An Yunsu didn't listen any further, and hurried home.

That night, when Xing Jiheng came back from get off work, he saw An Yunsu dressed in an old-fashioned dress, wearing a cloth jacket, cloth trousers and cloth shoes that he hadn't worn for a long time.

"Where did this come from?"

"It's comfortable to be at home like this." An Yunsu put the prepared dishes on the table and arranged them one by one, "Wash your hands and eat right away."

Xing Jiheng didn't say anything else, but just stared at An Yunsu throughout the meal, making him uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help asking after the meal: "You don't like how I dress like this?"

"No," Xing Jiheng pulled him to his side and said with a smile, "I remember the time in Beiping earlier."

At that time, they had just lived together, and An Yunsu often wore buttoned cloth jackets.Although it is something from the old times, it makes Xing Jiheng, who has been abroad for many years, find it particularly interesting.Later, when they moved back to Jincheng and lived in the leased area, An Yunsu changed to new clothes.

At first An Yunsu was not used to wearing trousers and leather shoes.Every time he wore it, Xing Jiheng said: "Which young master do you look like?" An Yun Su followed up with a sentence: "I am serving the young master." After waiting for a while, he is not allowed to talk about himself like that in the future.

Thinking of this now, An Yun suddenly laughed.Xing Jiheng said: "Actually, I like you dressed like this."

"how?"

Xing Jiheng leaned closer to his ear, and teased: "It's convenient to take it off."

"........."

After a small talk, they went to bed again.Afterwards, An Yunsu had almost forgotten his original intention of changing clothes.

One day, more than half a month later, An Yunsu was resting at home when he heard noises outside the gate.He didn't take it too seriously. In the past two years, due to the three.

He got up and poured a glass of water, and before he had taken a sip, he heard someone knock on the door, and the knock was somewhat rude.He went over to open the door, and there were several people standing outside the door, the leader was Mrs. Sun, followed by a middle-aged woman with a troubled face.

An Yun Su just opened his mouth and called out politely: "Mrs. Sun..." Mrs. Sun interrupted him, and corrected: "Don't call me wife, that's what the old society calls me, call me comrade."

An Yunsu had no choice but to change his words and asked, "Comrade, what do you have to do?"

"I have nothing to knock on your door?" Although Mrs. Sun came from a poor background, but because of her husband's frequent promotions in the past two years, the official wife's airs have been put on, and she walked into the house as soon as she spoke. , asked like a prisoner, "Are you alone at home?"

An Yunsu didn't want them to enter the house, but he couldn't talk to the lesbian, so he had to use his body to block her from continuing to the back room, and said tactfully, "You can talk here if you have something to do."

Mrs. Sun stopped, looked around, pulled the woman who had been hiding behind her, and said, "Comrade Wanqin lost a bracelet."

An Yun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of her words, put away the faint smile on her face, and asked her back: "What do you mean?"

"There are not many people in this building during the day." Mrs. Sun looked back as if she had made up her mind, "We stay together every day, and I don't know what you do all day. In the summer, every house has its windows open, but Wanqin's house is on the first floor..."

An Yunsu frowned all the time, and suddenly retorted when he heard this: "You can't speak like this without reason."

"Whether there is any basis, let us search and find out."

An Yunsu got a little angry, but men and women could not kiss each other, he couldn't touch her, he just gestured and said: "It doesn't make sense, please go out."

Mrs. Sun immediately said: "Are you guilty of being a thief?"

An Yun couldn't stand her trap, and reminded coldly with lowered eyes: "This is Dr. Xing's home."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Sun did not dare to act rashly, "Okay, let's talk about it when Doctor Xing comes back." After speaking, she walked towards the door, and after taking two steps, she realized, "No, you spend us, don't you have time? Hiding something? A bracelet can be hidden anywhere.”

"..." An Yunsu didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Wanqin next to her was afraid that things would become serious, so she tugged on Mrs. Sun's sleeve and advised in a low voice, "Let's go first, we'll talk about this matter later."

After Mrs. Sun and her party left, An Yunsu leaned against the door for a long time, and suddenly felt aggrieved.In the old society, he was trampled underfoot, so no matter how he entered the new society, he still had no means of survival.Doesn't a person like him deserve to live like a human being?

He got stuck all afternoon, and when Xing Jiheng got off work, he realized that the meal hadn't been cooked yet, so he hurried into the kitchen.

When Xing Jiheng entered the door, An Yunsu hadn't finished his busy work. He washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help. Seeing that An Yunsu didn't talk much, he asked a little strangely: "What's wrong, baby?"

"It's nothing." An Yun continued to work without raising his eyes.

Xing Jiheng felt that his mood was not right, thinking that he was bored at home alone, and coaxed: "I feel like you don't miss me too much today, are you tired of cooking? Go out to eat tomorrow night?"

"No," An Yunsu smiled at him, "I just overslept in the afternoon."

The two of them set up the dishes and chopsticks, and before they had time to take a few bites, there was another knock on the door.An Yun's hands froze, thinking that he still came.Xing Jiheng went to open the door, and seeing several women, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "You..."

"Doctor Xing is back, that's just right," Mrs. Sun continued to lead the charge, "We have been here this afternoon, your..." She raised her chin into the room, without saying the word "helper", "Bring us It came out."

Xing Jiheng glanced back at An Yunsu, then turned back and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Sun repeated her conjecture, but her tone did not sound like conjecture, as if she had witnessed the whole process with her own eyes.After listening to it, Xing Jiheng suppressed his anger and only said: "It's nothing, I think you guys misunderstood."

Mrs. Sun was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude, and said forcefully: "Then we have to go in and have a look before we believe it?"

"You want to search my house?" Xing Jiheng was almost amused by her words.

"It's not your house, it's his house." Mrs. Sun pointed to the people in the house, thinking that the other party could accept such an argument, but she didn't expect Xing Jiheng to say even more bluntly: "His is not good, slow down." Go or not."

"Hey! Why..." Mrs. Sun reflexively stretched out her hand to block the half-closed door, "Isn't this a cover-up?"

Xing Jiheng usually hates arguing with others very much, but he couldn't stand someone bullying An Yunsu, so he immediately turned his face even harder, and warned him very ungentlemanly: "If you stop talking nonsense without evidence, don't blame me for treating you You're welcome."

"I don't know a good heart..."

"It's not relative, it's not necessary."

Xing Jiheng didn't give her another chance to speak, and closed the door with a bang.Turning around, An Yunsu was still in the same posture.He understood everything, since An Yunsu suddenly changed his clothes half a month ago, gossip had already spread around.

A few days later, even Xing Jiheng felt that the people in the building were pointing fingers at the two of them, and the gossip had changed from him protecting An Yunsu to what was the relationship between the two of them.

Finally one night, Xing Jiheng said to An Yunsu, "Let's move."

This is easy to say, but not in practice.In today's world, it is not as good as in the past when you want to move wherever you want as long as you can afford it.At first, Xing Jiheng thought about taking this opportunity to move to the vicinity of the hospital. There happened to be a building on the other side of Siping West Road.However, he went to see it and found that there were more people living in that place and the house area was still small, so he had to give up.

Later, in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he went to Xing's father for a shake, he mentioned that he wanted to move.At that time, I just said it in passing, but Xing Jizhe took it to heart.He has always felt indebted to this younger brother for so many years.It was the couple who helped An Yunsu's settlement and status at the beginning, otherwise An Yunsu would most likely be deported back to his place of origin.

A week later, Xing Jizhe went to the Cambridge Building. Xing Jiheng was not at home. He first told An Yunsu: "Although it is a bungalow, the environment is quite good. I went to see it. I will ask Wenyu to come and take you at noon tomorrow." Have a look?"

An Yunsu said: "Why don't we go together when Ji Heng is off work?"

"Go and have a look first. If you don't even like him later, he won't waste his time."

In this way, at noon the next day, An Yunsu followed Qin Wenyu to Duolun Road.He fell in love with the yard almost at a glance.There are four rooms in total, all clean and tidy, even the yard is paved with bricks, and there is a place for planting flowers and plants beside the wall.

After returning home, he still murmured a little when talking about it with Xing Jiheng, fearing that Xing Jiheng would not be used to living in such a house.Although the two of them used to live in the one-story house in Beijing, it was the property of Xing Jiheng's eldest brother, and it was a serious house. I don't know if this kind of small family's yard suits Xing Jiheng's wishes.

Xing Jiheng asked him after listening, "Do you like it?"

"like."

"Then move."

In the autumn of 27, Xing Jiheng and An Yunsu moved to the small courtyard that held their joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys for [-] years in the years to come.
